Definitions
- This invention relates to solder masks used in the manufacture of printed circuit boards.
- Solder masks provide protection to the circuitry on printed circuit boards during processing, as well as providing continued protection throughout the life of the circuit board. These masks must be resistant to solder compositions as well as etching fluids such as methylene chloride, and also withstand environmental stresses such as changes in temperature and humidity. At the same time they must remain flexible enough to withstand mechanical stresses without cracking or peeling.
- the Institute of Interconnecting and Packaging Electronic Circuitry (IPC) describes requirements for solder mask coatings in their SM840-B specifications. The specifications include, among other things, hydrolytic stability, electrical resistivity, thermal stability, abrasion resistance, solvent resistance, and limited flammability. The requirements for a Class III material are the most severe, since these materials are used for life support systems and military equipment.
- the solder mask composition is applied to a circuit board and partially cured in the desired areas by exposure to ultraviolet radiation through a phototool or negative. After the unexposed composition is removed from the board by washing with an aqueous solution or an organic solvent, the partially cured mask is fully cured by further exposure to ultraviolet radiation or a combination of irradiation and thermal curing.
- EP-0 233 623 A3 discloses an aqueous developable photopolymerizable composition having increased flexibility and reduced cold flow comprising an unique mixture of a siliceous material and a plasticizer in combination with known photopolymerizable monomers, polymeric binders, thermal polymerization inhibitors and photoinitiators.
- EP-0 259 812 A2 discloses photopolymerizable compositions containing inorganic fillers. Improved performance in photopolymerizable compositions has been obtained by mixing inorganic filler with polymeric binder prior to incorporation of monomer.
- compositions containing an acrylic binder, a multifunctional (meth)acrylate monomer, a solvent and a photoinitiator have been described, for example, in U.S. patents 4,629,680; 4,845,011 and 4,504,573, these compositions do not possess the unique properties required for use as a solder mask, i.e., resistance to immersion in molten solder and formation of a permanent protective coating on a printed circuit board.
- solder mask composition that can be applied as a liquid and subsequently dried to provide the advantages of easy handling of the coated circuit board, control of film thickness and elimination of the need for vacuum lamination, which is required when using dry film solder masks.
